A rotund man with white hair wearing a gray Patriots sweatshirt was caught on camera shoplifting from CVS Pharmacy in Norton, according to the Norton Police Department.

The incident took place on Thursday at 8:37 p.m., when the man entered the store at 35 West Main St. and was seen by other customers taking numerous small items, police said. The man, who has not been found by police, left the store with a red and white Santa hat in his left hand, police said.

A picture of the suspect was placed on Mass. Most Wanted, a website used by Massachusetts police departments to track down criminals.

“He entered the store and exited a few minutes later,” said Lt. Todd Jackson. “We haven’t been able to identify him.”

The police said anyone with information about the identity of the subject should contact the Norton Police Department at 508-285-3300.

The case is being investigated by Detective Lt. Thomas Petersen, police said.

The man was the second in recent months to be caught on camera while allegedly shoplifting from the West Main Street CVS. On Sept. 1, a 200-pound, 5-foot-11 white male with long brown hair pulled back in a pony tail at the time allegedly filled up a hand basket with merchandise and ran out the door.
